Happy Holidays!

I'm pleased to announce that, in joining you all in celebrating the
Holidays, Imperian is offering an unprecedented promotion. First, we are
offering a 25% on all credits purchased from now until January 1st. If
you purchase 1000 credits from our website, you will automatically be
given 1250 credits in Imperian.

That's not all! We're also going to be offering a tiered promotion. If
you purchase credits in certain amounts from our website, you will be
given some free gifts. Those gifts will be in the form of "Tokens of the
Creator" that you can use to purchase special, unique items.

The breakdown for token distribution based on credit package is:

100 credits: 1 token
300 credits: 2 tokens
500 credits: 3 tokens
1000 credits: 5 tokens
2000 credits: 10 tokens

The token distribution stacks, so if you purchase 2000 credits, you will
get 21 tokens in total. The token packages for the higher credit
purchases will be distributed as one item which you will have to convert
into individual tokens with TOKEN UNPACK. You can give tokens to other
players with the command TOKEN TRADE TO <person>. If you want to sell
your tokens to other people, make sure that you both agree on the terms
of the trade, and that you only trade with people you trust. Scamming
people out of their tokens will not be acceptable.

You can view the list of items available for purchase with tokens by
typing TOKEN WARES. To purchase an item with tokens, do TOKEN PURCHASE
<item #>. The item number you use is all the way on the left of the
wares list.

Both the credit bonus and the token promotion will last until January
1st. From all of us at IRE to all of you: Happy Holidays!

The things that you can purchase with your tokens are:

For 1 token
-------------

A shifting mirror
- This mirror will allow you to view the description of any player in
Imperian. Simply PEER MIRROR <person> to view them.

Vanity Pets

These pets serve no useful purpose other than to look cute (or ugly, in
at least one case). The vanity pets available are:

- a goldfish in a glass bowl
- a jar of maggots
- a gilded gourd with a singing cricket
- an ant farm
- a hamster in a glass sphere
- a mesh butterfly pavilion

These pets will all have special reactions when dropped, picked up, and
will occasionally display messages in the room. They will also respond
to some emotes. A full list for them will be published later, but play
around and see what you can discover!

These one-of-a-kind special collectibles will only be available for this
promotion, so get yours now!

For 2 tokens
--------------

A drakeskin feedbag
- This special item will ensure that your pets will never go hungry
again. Any pet commands that make your pet hungry will no longer cause
hunger to your pet.

A vorpal shard
- This special knife will cut open the very edges of your rift, allowing
you to store twice the number of herbs, comms, and other riftable items.

For 3 tokens
--------------
A tiny paw-print badge
- Tired of being price-gouged by those selfish kennel and stable honors?
Unable to retrieve your pets with many thousands of gold worth in fees?
Get this special badge that will make it so that you don't ever have to
pay gold to retrieve your pets from a stable or a kennel again.

A Deathglory orb
- This special orb will allow you to specify your own custom deathsight
message that the world will see when you kill someone. This message must
be approved by the Gods before it will be used. You will have a new
option in CONFIG for submitting your deathsight message. Use the special
variables $(caster$) to expand your character's name, and $(target$) to
expand your target's name in the deathsight message. If you have any
questions, please feel free to ask Dranor.

An altar of sanctity
- This altar lets you offer corpses at it as if you were always at a
shrine to your Order's Patron. You'll never have to go out of your way
to find a shrine again!

For 5 tokens
--------------
A Family token
- Found your own family name! The creation of new families is usually
disabled, but with this special token Dranor will help you create your
own, brand-new family. Please contact Dranor to redeem this token.

An obsidian and gold pipe
- This pipe will never run out. Simply stuff it with herbs or your
favorite tobacco, safe in the knowledge that your treasured pipe will
always be full whenever you go to smoke it. This pipe will also never
need to be lit, like normal artifact pipes.

For 10 tokens
---------------
An extra tattoo slot
- Have you ever found yourself yearning for just one more tattoo? This
is the solution to all of your problems! With this, you will be able to
obtain one more tattoo on your body. To do so, simply INK <tattoo> ON
BODY <of me>, or BUY <tattoo> ON BODY OF ME.

A Pet Training token
- This completely customisable one-stop training solution will allow you
to customise your pet in a number of different ways. Read HELP PET
TRAINING for more information about the actions and reactions you will
be able to set on your pet. Please contact Dranor to redeem this token.

Penned by my hand on the 24th of Tenebrae, in the year 565 AD.
